Finding Eve Mark Spears

Author's note: Finding Eve is an autobiography of sorts. All of the humans in the story are real people, including myself, and their real names have been used with their permission. The story of the separation of the two brothers actually happened. The story of the older brother's death actually occurred in the way described. In short, Finding Eve was my attempt to answer a question that many of us have. If we could change the past . . . would we? The story also gave me the opportunity to stand beside my brother and explore the universe, fight aliens and flirt with extraterrestrial females. And, of course, it gave me the chance to goof off with two of my closest buddies. Upon entering the city's most popular carwash, three friends are whisked away through a time portal that drops them back to 1983, where they have a run in with cosmic Time Keepers, old girlfriends, and a chance to change the future by changing the past. Together the three begin a voyage through time and space, aided by nothing more than a sense for adventure and the desire to make the universe a better place. While doing so, the three destroy all records of time, uncannily release aliens on Earth, lose Adam and Eve, discover parallel universes, and find that United States Marines never truly die. They also find that women, love, and life are not things easily attainable or manageable. In the end, the three are able to answer some of life's most elusive questions. Are we alone in the cosmos? How did we get here? Is there a God?
